My Future My Plan is a transition planning resource for students with disabilities and their families. It includes a video, student workbook and parent/teacher guide developed by State of the Art Inc. in partnership with the National center on Secondary Education and Transition. The materials provide comprehensive information on transition planning including how to use the IEP as a tool to drive the transition process.

My Future My Plan was evaluated with parent/student dyads that closely represent the national IEP population. The research yielded promising results. In particular, outcomes revealed:
1) positive attitudinal changes toward the IEP meetings
2) increased self-efficacy related to managing transition planning tasks
3) desired behavior changes such as increased information seeking about transition planning.

My Future My Plan received numerous accolades including being named Finalist in the 2004 Freddie Award from MediMedia’s International Health and Medical Media Awards.
